July 1 (Reuters) - - Tiger Woods overtook Jack Nicklaus in second place on the all-time PGA Tour winners list when he won the AT&T National tournament at the Congressional Country Club on Sunday. The former world number one captured the 74th PGA Tour event of his career when he shot a final round of two-under-par 69 to finish at eight-under and win by two strokes. His fellow American Bo Van Pelt closed with a 71 to finish outright second, one shot clear of Australian Adam Scott, who charged up the leaderboard with a final round 67. The overnight leader, Zimbabwe's Brendan de Jonge, fell out of contention when he finished with a 77. As the other challengers faded, only Van Pelt kept in touch with Woods.
